If you’ve ever wanted to get a true idea of how much the human can’t live without conflict, watch this video. Although most of the names can’t actually be made out, this video will truly give you a good idea of when and where battles took place throughout history. It’s nice t[...]

If you’ve never seen a Vihart video, you’re truly missing out. She has a way of tackling these interesting math concepts in a way that is completely entertaining and compelling. Well here she does it again while explaining a math concept that I had never heard of, which is that .999.. (r[...]

We’ve known the Moon as it is currently for our entire lives. That’s what the Moon is to us, the speckled, shady rock in the sky. It’s interesting to think, though, that it hasn’t always been that way. This video gives us a very interesting representation of how Moon turned f[...]

This is truly the next step for air travel. They’ve figured out a way to massively cool the air going in to a jet engine so that the engine doesn’t have to account for any overheating. This means they’ve basically taken the leash off of what jet engines are capable of and given the[...]

Here’s a funny little clip from a TED talk. Apparently an English pop singer made a comment in one of her songs about the edge of the universe, was corrected by a scientist, and proceeded to make a funny and accurate re-cut of her song to make herself feel better about it. Very cool.[...]

These hypotheticals are always fascinating to me. I don’t know the specifics, but clearly in this hypothetical, life would change dramatically for us, most likely resulting in this planet no longer being able to sustain life. It’s very interesting to see, though. Kind of reminds me of th[...]

I’m always fascinated by high-speed (super slow-mo) videos, as I’m sure many of you are as well. It’s just so interesting to see the way things work and react in a way that is impossible to tell with the naked eye. Not surprisingly, there are many scientific benefits that go along [...]
